There are tens of thousands of cops in this country, the overwhelming majority of whom are good, honest, hard-working, decent individuals. Criticizing the tiny minority of bad ones does not mean that we’re anti-cop, no matter what some people around here may think.

Agreed.

I have personally seen the overwhelming good that good officers accomplish every day. Just as there are great police officers who truly love their jobs and do the best they can in very difficult conditions, there are the few who seem to be caught being complete miscreants and violating common rules of decency and good order.

Holding any group's feet to the fire is not being anti this or anti that. Being charged with carrying a deadly weapon and being the "line" between civility and barbarity comes with great responsibilities. When cops are right, they are rightly praised. When cops are wrong, they must be held accountable.
